The National Center for Wildlife announced the conclusion of the Kingdom’s 2025–2026 hunting season on Jan. 31, marking a notably successful period that began in early September 2025.
The season was governed by updated regulatory mechanisms developed with the participation of hunting experts and grounded in research, data, and international best practices, while ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources in line with the Environmental Law and the Kingdom’s international commitments.
Drawing on lessons from previous seasons, the framework led to heightened environmental awareness and improved compliance among hunters.
Mohammed Qurban, the center’s CEO, said the 2025–2026 season built on the success of regulating hunting activities, contributing to ecological balance and the sustainability of natural resources through an integrated, science-based wildlife management approach.
He added that the effective organization of the season reflects the Kingdom’s progress in wildlife management and strengthens its regional and international standing in conserving wildlife and ecosystems through balanced, sustainability-driven regulations.
